I was transferring a bunch of old forgotten VHS tapes to my computer the other day, and ran across this video gem from 1993. This is easily one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever shared on the internet. Enjoy.

Here is an original song that I wrote in 1995. Having been influenced by Dream Theater for 3 years at this point, my own music started to take on a more progressive feel… more complicated chord progressions, more intricate drum tracks, and I was breaking away from the old “verse, chorus, verse chorus, solo, chorus, fade out” paradigm of songs I grew up with.

While the guitars and vocals were performed by myself, my friend Mike Fermer played the keyboards and programmed the drum tracks. Yes, that is a drum machine. Mike is amazing at programming drum tracks!

Another thing to note: I was much more of a guitarist at this time of my life than a vocalist, so… 😛
